Nansi Richards

The famed harpist Nansi Richards, known as the "Queen of the Harp" shares her memories in a classic archive programme from 1965 presented by Lisa Gwilym for today's audience.

Nansi discusses her family roots in the farm house in Penybont Fawr which has remained in her family for two centuries. She was a unique character and loved travelling as she enthralled audiences throughout the world with her harp playing.

By passing her fantastic talent to the next generation of harpists Nansi Richards ensured the future of the Welsh triple harp.
